“Everybody is constantly trying to push for renewable energy sources. They say the sun and wind are crucial, while the nuclear energy industry is hazardous production, and it must be excluded from the energy balance,” Suli said. “It is a misconception. There is not a single European city or town that can supply itself with energy using just solar power or wind energy,” he added.
According to the Hungarian minister, it is impossible to achieve goals of the Paris Agreement without the nuclear energy industry. Along with this, the climate change fight might have a negative impact on the development of peaceful nuclear energy.
If you are an unbiased critical thinker, you can easily determine that intermittent energy sources cannot power our advanced societies. People demand 99.9% reliable energy. This cannot be provided with solar and wind. Therefore, policy makers in serious countries are looking for clean, cheap, reliable, baseload power. That is nuclear power.
If you think renewables can power society 100% you either don’t know math and science, you are a useful idiot, or you are a rent seeker benefiting from the construction of these facilites.
